Trial summary

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is still the standard treatment of coronary revascularization for patients with severe coronary artery disease (CAD). Graft patency, together with completeness of revascularization, is a major determinant of long-term outcome following CABG. Read more about this study

About this study

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is still the standard treatment of coronary revascularization for patients with severe coronary artery disease (CAD). Graft patency, together with completeness of revascularization, is a major determinant of long-term outcome following CABG. The surgical procedure elicits a persistent systemic inflammatory response associated with the activation of the hemostatic system leading to perturbation of endothelial and vascular function and activation of platelets and leukocytes. All of these events are the main players responsible for the early and late graft failure in a significant percentage of patients.

Read the detailed description

Circulating microvesicles (MVs) have received increasing attention during the last years as novel players in cardiovascular disease. MVs are small membrane vesicles involved in cell-to-cell communication acting as biological messengers. MVs of different origin are present in the circulation of healthy subjects, and their number increases in several pathological conditions contributing to the development, progression, and clinical outcome of diseases. They have been proposed as biomarkers of thrombosis, vascular injury, and inflammation in atherothrombosis and myocardial infarction, where elevated levels have been correlated with disease severity. Among the circulating MVs, those expressing phosphatidylserine are defined as procoagulant MVs. A subgroup of procoagulant MVs also express tissue factor (TF), the key activator of the blood coagulation cascade. These procoagulant MVs have a role in the prediction of cardiovascular events and are able to identify patients at high recurrence risk. Thus far, many studies have generated compelling data on the sensitivity of circulating MVs as biomarkers of cardiovascular disease progression and events. The usefulness of MVs in patients undergoing CABG, however, has only been tested in 1 study that highlighted their importance in surgical hemostasis. No information is so far available on the association between the amount or pattern of circulating MVs and CABG outcome.Thus, we carried out this study to investigate potential functional role of MVs and exosomes in graft occlusion based on their protein profile as well as their procoagulant potentia.l

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery, run by Maria Cecilia Hospital at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Alberto Albertini, MD (+39 0545 217693, aalbertini@gvmnet.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Confirmation and validation of the potential role of blood MV and exosomes as predictors of bypass occlusions (time frame: from 15 to 21 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Aug 2024.
